IPS officer Daljit Singh Chaudhary (IPS:1990:UP) was accorded a warm farewell on his retirement as Director General of the Border Security Force (BSF) on November 30. Thus, Choudhary is bidding goodbye to an illustrious policing career that spanned over more than three decades.
He was appointed as the BSF DG on August 3, 2024, at a time when tempers ran high along the India-Pakistan border in the Jammu region, where security forces and civilians were suffering casualties.
Known for his dynamic leadership and meticulous approach, Choudhary has been on central deputation since 2017 without a break.
Before taking over the reins of the BSF, he served as Additional Director General (ADG) in the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Special DG and Additional DG in the CRPF, and later as the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) DG. Thus, barring CISF, Choudhary has held leadership positions in all wings of the paramilitary forces. Besides, he also briefly held the additional charge of the National Security Guard (NSG). It shows how valued he has been for the central government.
Apart from his acclaimed operational skills, Choudhary is an accomplished marksman and a qualified skydiver.
As Choudhary bids farewell to his career from the post of the BSF chief, senior IPS officer Praveen Kumar (IPS:1993:WB), currently posted as ITBP chief, has been assigned the additional charge of the BSF DG in his place.
